Most guys won’t realize that they have started to
grow a beard until they’re at least a few days down. When you are at that crossroad, you need to commit to the beard. The initial stages might be a little itchy and make you feel like a relapsed alcoholic in a cheesy daytime movie. But if you can get over the initial hump, you will feel a lot better about the whole thing. Many men find that they need to get over the ‘four-week hump’ before feeling like they have a beard.
